As the new school year kicks into gear, Santa Clarita is reintroducing its Parenting for Prevention initiative, designed to combat substance abuse among youth. This program focuses on educating parents and guardians about the risks associated with drug and alcohol use, while providing them with the tools necessary to foster healthy conversations with their children.

The initiative includes a series of workshops and informational sessions that cover various topics, including the signs of substance abuse, effective communication strategies, and resources for support. By equipping parents with knowledge and skills, the program aims to create a stronger community response to the challenges posed by substance misuse.

Local educators and health professionals will collaborate to ensure that families have access to the latest information and support systems. This proactive approach underscores Santa Clarita's commitment to promoting a safe and healthy environment for its youth, ultimately working towards reducing substance abuse within the community.
